Inspiration is a divine element inside our life. When we are inspired, we try to climb up the Himalayas. When we are inspired, we try to swim the English Channel. When we are in spired, we go from one country to another country to inspire people and to be inspired by them. I feel that when we inspire humanity, we automatically become good citizens of the world. This is my philosophy. My weightlifting feats I have done solely to inspire humanity.

My soul-bird loves my body-cage Only when it is kept fit, Pure and absolutely immaculate.

The way to become happy Is to think And to feel That the very best is yet to come.

My Lord does not want to know what I have done for Him. He just wants to know how I am. If he hears from me that I am happy, then he himself becomes exceedingly happy. In umistakable terms He tells me that my happiness is His real and only Satisfaction.

We do not need heaven-born saints but just earth-born seekers who believe in peace and want to live in peace.

When I think good thoughts, I feel that man is not, after all, so bad.

To be true to oneself is the hardest test of life.
